The MRC have developed an Interactive Career Framework which provides information on possible options for careers and funding in health research within academia and industry.
The framework includes information on relevant funding opportunities for eight major health funders, including the MRC, Cancer Research UK, Wellcome Trust, and the National Institute for Health Research.
The Framework also offers potential career development routes depending on your current career stage.
